CAUTION: The majority of these products have a very low flash point. Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. CAUTION: For fire involving UN1170, UN1987 or UN3475, alcohol-resistant foam should be used. CAUTION: Ethanol (UN1170) can burn with an invisible flame. Use an alternate method of detection (thermal camera, broom handle, etc.).
SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam.
LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Avoid aiming straight or solid streams directly onto the product. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire.
FIRE INVOLVING TANKS, RAIL TANK CARS OR HIGHWAY TANKS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks in direct contact with flames. For massive fire, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2024)
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped or safely confined. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Use "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources.
Evacuation: If fire becomes uncontrollable or container is exposed to direct flame - consider evacuation of one-third (1/3) mile radius.
· CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.
· Keep unauthorized personnel away.
· Stay upwind, uphill and/or upstream.

1,1-Dimethoxyethane's production and use in medicine, organic synthesis, in Mering's mixture (2 vol 1,1-dimethoxyethane and 1 vol chloroform), and as a flavoring ingredient may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. 1,1-Dimethoxyethane has been detected as a volatile component of beef. If released to soil, 1,1-dimethoxyethane will have very high mobility. Volatilization of 1,1-dimethoxyethane may be important from moist and dry soil surfaces. According to one study, 1,1-dimethoxyethane shows a slight ability to support growth for an organism isolated from soil enriched with triethylene glycol as a carbon source. If released to water, 1,1-dimethoxyethane would not adsorb to suspended solids and sediment. 1,1-Dimethoxyethane would volatilize from water surfaces with estimated half-lives for a model river and model lake of 15 hours and 7.5 days, respectively. An estimated BCF value of 0.86 suggests that 1,1-dimethoxyethane will not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms. If released to the atmosphere, 1,1-dimethoxyethane will exist in the vapor phase. Vapor-phase 1,1-dimethoxyethane is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of about 43 hours. (SRC)

1,1-Dimethoxyethane's production and use in medicine(1), organic synthesis(1), in Mering's mixture (2 vol 1,1-dimethoxyethane and 1 vol chloroform)(2), and as a flavoring ingredient(3) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).
TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 1,1-dimethoxyethane will have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 1,1-dimethoxyethane may be important from moist soil surfaces(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.7X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(3,SRC), and from dry soil surfaces(SRC), based on an experimental vapor pressure of 171 mm Hg(4). According to one study, 1,1-dimethoxyethane shows a slight ability to support growth for an organism isolated from soil enriched with triethylene glycol(5).
AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 1,1-dimethoxyethane would not adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC) in the water. 1,1-Dimethoxyethane would volatilize from water surfaces based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.7X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(3). Estimated half-lives for a model river and model lake are 15 hours and 7.5 days, respectively(4,SRC). An estimated BCF value of 0.86(4,SRC), from an estimated log Kow(5,SRC), suggests that 1,1-dimethoxyethane will not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC) according to a recommended classification scheme(6). According to one study, 1,1-dimethoxyethane shows a slight ability to support growth for an organism isolated from soil enriched with trietylene glycol(7).
ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a suggested classification scheme(1), an experimental vapor pressure of 171 mm Hg at 25 °C(2) indicates that 1,1-dimethoxyethane will exist in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1,1-dimethoxyethane is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be about 43 hours(3,SRC). Vapor-phase 1,1-dimethoxyethane may be physically removed from the air by wet deposition because of its high water solubilty(4).
An aerobic biodegradation study using gram-negative asporogenous rod bacteria isolated from soil enriched with triethylene glycol exhibited borderline growth (scarcely detectable growth, not reproducible) with 1,1-dimethoxyethane(1).
The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 1,1-dimethoxyethane with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals has been experimentally determined to be 8.89X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 43 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1,SRC).
An estimated BCF value of 0.86 was calculated for 1,1-dimethoxyethane(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.22(1,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms will be an low(SRC).
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indexes(1), the Koc for 1,1-dimethoxyethane can be estimated to be about 1(SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,1-dimethoxyethane has very high mobility in soil(SRC).
The Henry's Law constant for 1,1-dimethoxyethane is estimated as 6.7X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This value indicates that 1,1-dimethoxyethane will volatilize from water surfaces(2,SRC). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec) is estimated as approximately 15 hours(2,SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec) is estimated as approximately 7.5 days(2,SRC). 1,1-Dimethoxyethane's high vapor pressure, 171 mm Hg(3) indicates that volatilization from dry soil may occur(SRC). 1,1-Dimethoxyethane's Henry's Law constant(1,SRC) indicates that volatilization from moist soil may also occur(SRC).
